Wize wins AlwaysOn/Vator OnMedia contest

CEO Tom Patterson to speak at CEO showcase in New York

Wize, a consumer products review aggregator, won the AlwaysOn/Vator
OnMedia competition. The contest is part of AlwaysOn's ongoing effort
to find game-changing companies in the marketing and advertising space.

Wize's
algorithm generates lists of products based on consumer reports written
across the Web. These lists are similar to Google's AdSense in that
publishers can display the lists on their site. Wize's customers who
are on the list then pay per each click driven to their site.

"It
was great to be able to compete for the opportunity to present at the
AO Conference.We learned about a lot of great companies along the way
and we are looking forward to meeting other CEOs in New York in
February," said Wize CEO Tom Patterson.While
Wize won the competition by attracting the most votes - 52 - the
startup also was recognized for its activity and popularity on Vator.
Wize has nearly 300 followers.

At the event, he will be able to give a
six-minute CEO pitch to an audience of AlwaysOn investors and
attendees. Wize.com will also be featured in AO's quarterly print
"blogozine" and on the Vator.tv and AlwaysOn sites.
